Hi Guys
I just purchased a H96 Pro Plus, in the status bar there is a solid circle icon that wont disappear no matter what I do, I also don't know what program it's tied to.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or if someone knows what it is, its freaking me out because it looks like a recording icon.
Android version of box is 7.1.1
I am posting here because I have no idea where else to post about this

Hi, I just got this box with 7.1.1 and have the same circle icon. Not really sure what it is, but if i find out I'll post back here.
It wouldn't be the button to get back to the home screen like on any other Android device?

No, it's up top in the right hand corner where the time and wifi icon is.
When I click there all it shows is the wifi icon and a few others but the solid circle icon isn't there in the menu.
I'm thinking it's tied to a hidden system app but I have no idea what!
If you have a touchpad or mouse do a quick double click on the bar to make it show up fully.
Then you should be able to see what program is linked to it.
Go in the app manager and disable all notifications for that app - the circle should disappear.

I've done that, there's nothing there with the solid circle only the usual icons.
Even when I click on edit icons to either add or remove them; there is no solid circle icon there, this is what leads me to believe it's tied to a hidden app.
You wouldn't have the app "Sixaxis Controller" installed by any chance?

Nope, I have nothing like that installed.
Then I am running out of ideas here what could be represented by a solid circle
On my unit (7.1.1), the solid circle disappeared when I made change in system language. Just change it to anything, then change it back.
Another icon that may appear there is a circle with minus symbol in it. Thats means you mute the unit.

Wow that actually worked, how weird that it's related to language.
Thank You...
With the H96 Pro Plus (or others that are S912 devices) that have a solid white circle in the notification bar on the right side, this is a trojan indicator that is part of the Wireless Update utility. The updates for these boxes don't work anyway, even more so the wireless update. If you ran any decent anti-malware / anti-virus software on the device you would find the trojan. The solution is to uninstall the Wireless Update without running it and reboot.
For the white circle with the line in the middle, that is the DO NOT DISTURB icon. That can be changed in settings. Search for the word "Disturbed" in settings and turn it off.
Should you happen to get the White Trojan Token icon again, see what apps you have recently loaded. Run an app, like Malwarebytes against it and see if you possibly loaded something you really don't need on your device.
It should be noted a lot of MTK and S912 devices with hacked Chinese firmware may cause this icon to appear. It also shows up with hacked Yoka KB2 software upgrades. In this case, it is usually a BitCoin miner installed on your system, and it takes more than root permissions to remove it. Should this appear on an MTK device, run any form of benchmark software to test memory and you might be surprised the memory and CPU cores you thought you had were all a coded facade.
Hope this helps.
So, i've had the BLA - L29 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?
update 21/11 : Called Huawei today, they said these issues are not normal, so brought it back to the shop got a new one... i'll be testing in the future days to see if i get the same issues.

If you are talking about the "xxxxx app is running in background" that is something introduced in Oreo and has nothing to do with EMUI

No my issue is more about the overlay.
Anyhow,
had too many issues with it at the moment. Even the BT in my car today got cut when i got a message while listening to some music... and then never reconnected right away.
I'm putting it in quarantine until a firmware will come out and fix these wifi, overlay, bt, fullscreen issues i have.
sweet dreams M10pro (firmware 115 on C436)
Sadly android Oreo is still new. A lot of other handsets are still in beta. Huawei was brave to release it with Oreo straight away but they couldn't really release it with Nougat or there would be complaints. Have faith and patience in the firmware updates but don't lose faith in the hardware. It's a seriously impressive bit of kit.
Hi, I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) in Czech republic (from Wonda mobile)
Issues:
1) "Home button" always switch back to default launcher!! Please help! How to allow different launcher?
- It makes the phone unusable for me. :crying:
2) No updates found (- why? What about 119?)
3) It is not possible to configure virtual buttons / commands. <- EMUI feature?
- I miss: "Open menu" function and "Switch to the last app"
4) I do not want to use Lock screen! (magazine pictures is the default, impossible to disable it) <- EMUI feature?
Do you have any advice?

Go to apps. Default apps. And select your launcher.
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere to disable magazine picture. I came across it yesterday

1. Settings - Apps - Settings - default apps setting - Launcher
2. Maybe it haven't been pushed yet. Patience is a virtuo.
3. It is possible to configure buttons
Settings - Smart assistants - System navigation - Settings
Open menu disappeared from android many versions ago, I belive in Ginger Bread. It was replaced with 3 dots in GUI.
Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)
4. What do you mean you don't want to use Lock Screen?
If you have pin, pattern or finger print unlock you must have a lock screen. If you disable all security then when you open the phone it will go straight to your home screen.
Settings - Screen lock & password - Password

Hi, thanks for your help
1) Yes, I was blind, sorry! - OK :good:
2) So 636 for europe is OK?
3) (I have "Open menu" in 7.1.2.) In some apps are not other way to open menu directly. :/
"Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)"
- Yes, thanks! But this is not supported (?) by using fingerprint scanner (only default: tap=back, hold=home, swipe=recently)
4) I mean simply not use lock screen, passwords, pattern , etc. So that the last application or screen is always displayed when the display is turned on.

ALSO what's kernel date?
I've got the standard Mate 10 and I haven't got any of the issues you described
FYI , my previous M10 Pro L29 - C432 had issues i would said dead on arrival style..
Huawei told me to bring it back, and thats what i did, and got a new ones.
Now things are working perfectly (except the overlay message i can't get rid of).
I just updated my firmware to 125 via FunkyHuawei (very easy to do if you follow the instructions (thumbs up to @duraaraa )

I couldn't test the 120, as it was on the old ALP-L29 which was defective. But 125 seems stable and working well. I will only be able to tell you about battery in 3-4 days once i got some cycles in.
Update to firmware 125, still got the gmail notification bug. I test several launcher, seems a EMUI related bug cause i can delete the mail from notif with Nova launcher.
Hello fellow Xiaomi users,
I got my Redmi 5 Plus a few days ago, updated it only via the system update (no custom twerks yet).
Currently I have the stock Android 7.1.2 N2G47H and the stock MIUI 9.6.2.0 NEGMIFD.
I have a couple of questions about the phone and I would really appreciate your help:
1) Will this phone get an official Oreo update? I've read that there should be one, but couldn't find any official date mentioned.
2) Stock launcher - I noticed that I couldn't remove app icons from the stock launcher. Is there a way to do that, and customize it all together?
3) Nova launcher - Since I couldn't remove unneeded app icons from the stock launcher, I installed Nova. An issue I find with it though, is that I no longer get skype notification sound - only vibration. Also sometimes messenger fails to make a sound as well, but that happens fairly rare. Any idea on a fix for this? Or maybe recommend a better launcher, that works with the phone?
4)Viber - I am using dual SIMs. One personal, and one for work. I activated only my work viber, but as soon as I started using it, it transferred all my contacts in it. So now my personal and work contacts got mixed. Wouldn't be an issue, If I didn't use viber on my work PC, and I would rather my personal chats to not be there. Any suggestion on how to separate my contacts? Anyone else had this issue?
5) Alarm sound - I am not sure if this happened after I switched to Nova, but my alarm sound is really low. The phones speakers are quite good, but when it comes to the alarm its quite low. I can barely hear it and wake up
6) Freezing - Sometimes when I type in let's say messenger, the phone freezes for some reason, until I type the next letter. For example if I try to type the word "submarine", I can type "subma" but it will freeze on "subm", and when I type the next letter (r) it will spit out both of the last written letters "submar" and then continue to work normally. What can cause those freezes?
I would really love to hear your opinion on these points.
Thanks in advance guys
1) For sure, in the main miui site is indicated and if is there is a closed beta available then we can expect an official version.
2) Remove the icons from stock launcher will mean uninstall them, you can only move them to the next display and maybe group them.
3) Check if all permissions are granted for this launcher including device control and accesibility, also enable in Nova persistent notifications. I use stock launcher, I put my preferred apps in main desktop, the others just moved them to the right and using the app "My Drawer" from developer Ofir Miron, it´s the only that I found that keeps the same icon from any theme that I pick, the others look very ugly.
I´m rarely use the other points so I don´t know

Thank you for the reply, I guess I will wait for the update for now, and experiment some more with Nova.
One more thing that came to mind - any way to use the proximity sensor to stop the phone for ringing or to answer calls? I had this options on other android phones - when the phone rings, and you bring your phone close to something (like your year) it picks up. Or when you flip it face down it stops the ringing. Any of these options available?? Can't find them so far.

Thank you, found it. Now let's hope that someone else can shed some light on the other topics as well. ^^
all of you on chinese variants of Find X, can now upgrade to new colorOS 5.2 simply by installing Beta App below , follow on screen steps and after that: go to normal upgrade method from Settins. You will have new OTA ready to download
Not applicable for Global and European variants CPH1871 / 75 .
LINK
After that you'll get a developer mode WITHOUT that annoying red banner in top notifications. You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade), but NO Icons in Top. Fastboot unlock is still not possible. There is a higher Battery drain.
Btw: looks like, you CAN'T downgrade to official firmware yourself. So please TAKE CARE.

Still no notifications when the screen is off. Just a sound.
Smartthings\Hue\Yi Home\Google Home\ HotUKdeals\Whatsapp\Blue mail\WearOS apps no notifications
And I get no notifications from my phone to my android TV via the app Notifications For Android TV
Think I may sell this phone and move on.

"You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade)"
Wish I got that
Is it correct that this information can not be returned to the official firmware?
After messing around for some time. I get notifications from most app when the screen is on.
But when the lock screen(blank black) starts, I get no notifications what so ever. Just sounds.
Anyway to fix this?
What's new in colorOS 5.2?
I get no notification issues and I use this china variant on color os5.1, for notifications ( FOR ALL apps, allow ALL PERMISSIONS, go to power management app and disable ALL power saving features for said apps as well as allowing all permissions from "power management" and this works for me even with screen off i get my notifications with the edge notification light
Most of my apps are now working as should(smartthings won't give notifications).
I went on to the beta and then I reset everything, and all has been great.

Yes it is. I've tried to make downgrade and doesn't work. The recovery says that the version that I've installed is newer than the latest official and abort the flash process. Fortunately the beta works pretty good but keep it in mind.
As supposed...latest ColorOS 5.2 arrived, and sadly nothing interesting
Does this allow for more "locked" apps or at least do away with the need for locking apps?

Rolled the dice and found out that:
- It does not remove the need for locking or increase the 5 app limit
- It also does not allow more than 5 apps to auto startup
Interesting development though: after doing the beta firmware update, I can no longer get into Phone Manager (and thus cannot easily get into auto startup apps)
After tapping on "Phone Manager", I get a screen overlay message that says "Permission Denied".
Can confirm that it does remove the dev orange bar. It will not remove the orange bar that is present from using Accessibility Settings.
EDIT: Updates as I poke around below
------
- After update: Shut down and Start up now retain my accessibility settings (previously even answering the phone would reset them). I use accessibility to add navigation options to the side of the device.
- I deleted com.coloros.safecenter, and now I have no "Auto Startup" options in individual app info. I'm unsure if this is just a new development in the beta or not though. I also still cannot get into the app Phone Manager (where auto startup is usually collected)
- I now also have some sort of flyout thing on the right side containing "Quick Access" apps. I never had this before. This is controlled from: Settings > Smart & Convenient > Smart Sidebar
- A new app inside of Accessibility permissions showed up called "Baidu IME for OPPO", but I'm pretty sure this was stock and I had just removed it right when I got the phone
- I'm also able to swipe notifications to the right to dismiss!

Rolled the dice and found out that:
- It does not remove the need for locking or increase the 5 app limit
- It also does not allow more than 5 apps to auto startup
Interesting development though: after doing the beta firmware update, I can no longer get into Phone Manager (and thus cannot easily get into auto startup apps)
After tapping on "Phone Manager", I get a screen overlay message that says "Permission Denied".
Can confirm that it does remove the dev orange bar. It will not remove the orange bar that is present from using Accessibility Settings.
EDIT: Updates as I poke around below
------
- After update: Shut down and Start up now retain my accessibility settings (previously even answering the phone would reset them). I use accessibility to add navigation options to the side of the device.
- I deleted com.coloros.safecenter, and now I have no "Auto Startup" options in individual app info. I'm unsure if this is just a new development in the beta or not though. I also still cannot get into the app Phone Manager (where auto startup is usually collected)

So you still have the continous weird flashing statusbar? (You use accesability, right?) Or is that gone after reboot?

Still have it unfortunately And yes, I'm using accessibility. Beta DOES get rid of the yellow bar if you only have Developer Mode enabled.
I've gone through one entire reinstall because I removed some pretty necessary stuff without pulling the APK's first. Now I'm an expert at backups of both individual APK's and the entire system through ADB hahaha.
I'm working on a guide to "westernize" or "un-colorOS"ing this phone and will be aggressively deleting apks to try and get rid of the yellow bar.
I did find that they have
Code:
com.android.systemui.PLUGINS
and that gets spawned from a ColorOS apk but I can't seem to remove the plugin. I have a hunch that's where it lives, since the orange bar groups everything under the "System UI" grouping.
Will keep you all updated!
EDIT: Oh! I was also able to create a +1 phone number account through oppo id services and use that to restore back to stock Beta after I screwed up the phone without backing anything up this first time. So I wouldn't be too scared of doing this upgrade. You can at least restore back to beta.
Had a little update.
Don't know what oppo added but great see updates coming

Well I hope so as I'm on the beta as well.
Thank you, I ran it but till now no notification about the new beta.
Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Okay,updated our phone today and got exactly same problem as you..
This was not funny at all i have to say,my wife is absolutely crazy because of this issue and think´s the whole phone is ruined because of this,okay..
Isn´t it anyone out there who has a solution for this or do we really have to wait for another update to come before we can have the fingerprint to work again because i really hope they going to fix this for us or?

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:

I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

That's a bit harsh. We have had Redmi 4 prime, 5 plus, note 7, 8, 10 and mi 11 lite and I have not had significant issues during upgrades.

Do not follow this! It has hung my Redmi Note 8 - hung at "Just a sec..." not responsive. Still trying to recover the phone!

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
